I have always wanted to try this soooooo I did! I bought mixed Salad Sprouts in bulk at Planet Organic. Here’s a picture…they look like a variety of beans & seeds (which they are) I was instructed by the extremely nice “tree hugging, hemp wearing, dread lock adorning” produce guru in Planet Organic to put seeds into a jar filled with water & covered with cheesecloth (I happened to use pink tulle cuz I had no cheesecloth) & secured with an elastic band. Rinse & refill water 3 times a day for 3 days. They should be starting to sprout.

Salad/Sprout Ready

So yummy! Would be fun for the kids to watch this grow & eat all in a matter of a week♥
When you are rinsing, dump water and refill leaving the cheesecloth on. After you see sprouts forming & you dump out water for good, shake up seeds & beans once a day to allow them oxygen. This helps with not allowing them to get moldy. If you see or smell any sign of mold, dispose of.
Peace out VegHeads

Last week was one of my “Little People”‘s Birthday, well I guess he is my “Almost Teen” people. Trying to think of something interesting to give someone that has everything is definitely a struggle. I took his picture in September and decided to take the most handsome one, add words that describe him on the side of picture, blow it up & put it on an art board. I think it turned out perfect.

This is very easy & unique. First download your picture into a Photoshop type program and add several text boxes describing gift recipient (name, grade, age, likes, etc). Take to your local office supply store (I use Staples) & print out picture (on plain paper) to fit art board. Mine didn’t fit exactly so I painted the top & bottom of art board along with sides a dark grey color. Mod Podge the back of picture and apply to board smoothing out air bubbles. Wait until dry then apply another coat of mod podge over picture to protect & finish off. If picture goes over edge, wait until dry & use sandpaper to file off.
I think it turned out perfect. Remember in one of your text boxes to put date of when picture was taken, that way it is a chronicle of a year. It is a great personalized picture for a child’s bedroom.

I accidentally erased this from a past Post, it is to important to just let it go, so I re-posted. Happy Weekend everyone!Women over 40 As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why……..

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask,”What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it’s usually something more interesting.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off if you are a jerk or if you are acting like one! You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40 , there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free”. Here’s an update for you: Nowadays 80 percent of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.
